What happened to iOffer?

[MA]

I'm trying to access the website, but I get this message instead.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.ioffer.com.

If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

Try again later.
Check your network connection.
If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

Does anyone know what happened to the site?

It has shut down.

An attempt to revamp and relaunch the service minus counterfeit goods and bootleg media failed, plus no point-of-sale services wanted to deal with them, apparently, due to the free-for-all nature of the items sold.

There may have been legal issues from major media and others, as well.

Its a real bummer that it shut down, the first time it shut down because people were selling things like unofficial laptop batteries, and i'm sure the fashion industry wasn't happy that clothes were selling on there for considerably less then they were at department stores.

Fortunately i'm a member of torrent site TV Vault now so I don't really need Ioffer anymore but I will still miss it.

I got the whole series of Golden Girls off that site for under $20 bucks from someone who burned all the seasons onto blank dvd's, and they all play beautifully. Sad to hear it shut down.

Yeah i've still got several sets from there that I haven't even gotten around to watching yet. The Hope and Faith set I got was really good.

I'm sure they were breaking tons of copyright laws but it served a good purpose for people who can't afford to pay $100 bucks for complete series sets. I should've known it was only a matter of time before it would get shut down and had stocked up on other TV series.

[darkrage6]

Yeah there's a few sets I wish i'd bought before it got shut down.

Does anyone know when exactly they shut down?

I was able to get the complete classic series of Doctor Who and some Unsolved Mysteries episode sets.
